Chiefs Trade whatever possible for a LT prospect - Page 140

I don’t care. If there’s a LT in this draft that they feel can be a good quality LT, do it.

I don’t care if it would cost three 1st rd picks. Mahomes is not gonna be this athletic for much longer.

It needs to happen

I think they will want Conerly. Just a feeling after more research and new info about him.

ESPN's Mel Kiper detailed how Conerly could become an asset, and a high pick, for the Kansas City Chiefs, who are projected to make a trade for a first round pick to grab an offensive lineman to bolster their trenches after their Super Bowl loss to the Eagles. Kiper also claimed he thinks Conerly could be a "Pro-Bowl-Caliber" tackle when he enters the professional league.

"The Chiefs' pass protection issues were on full display during the Super Bowl, and signing Jaylon Moore, a backup in San Francisco before getting a two-year deal with the Chiefs - is no guarantee to solve anything. Wanya Morris, Kingsley Suamataia and D.J. Humphries weren't the answers, and Joe Thuney, who was a stopgap fix in moving outside from guard, is now in Chicago," Kiper continued.

we definitely could draft another tackle. But I wouldn't want to reach for one if there is a better football player to take instead. Any position besides QB really. D-line and running back seem deep this year and I'm kind of expecting a DT in the first 2 rounds.

Conerly has pretty well had a 1st round grade since the process started on this class a year ago. I don't see why everyone would have concerns about picking him.

As for DT, the depth of the class favors going LT in the first. You know the likelihood of getting a quality one in 2 or 3 is much higher than normal. Not only that, but most DTs get taken on day 2 of the draft. It's usually rare for a DT to go in round 1. This year, there are a handful that could, and the class is just stacked through the 4th round.

Depending on how they feel about Kingsley, they could if one they like drops far enough.

I don’t think so, but that’s not absolute.

They paid Moore as a guy competing for a OT spot, NOT a foregone conclusion that he’s the starter. It’s a 2 year deal. They also drafted a super high upside project LT in Kingsley. And the back to back year investment in draft snd cap resources sure indicate you’ll end up being right….but they also have mentioned his upside at guard. They have moved on from Wanya at LT.

The Moore signing indicates to me that he will likely get first shot at the job. Can’t ignore that they also have a PERFECT scenario in the draft if we move up a few spots to get Collins and redshirt him.

Normally, while Mahomes is here…we would NEVER have the opportunity to get a kid with his skill set that fits so perfectly in what we want to do….couple that with our training staff that is the best at rehabbing players and getting Collins anywhere after 20 is a move that would be like getting a goose that lays golden eggs…but as a chick.

You know what I’d LOVE to see?

Collins in the first and Kaleb Johnson in the second. The rest can be used to move up and bolster the DL.

Boss, signing off and I’ll listen to responses off air.

What's the story on Humphries? He just disappeared and nobody has mentioned him as potential LT depth/insurance. He must really be cooked for KC not to be interested... I kind of assumed he just wasnt completely ready from his rehab.

I thought he looked like complete garbage when he started one game (not the last game vs the Broncos, I barely watched that one)

KC could have had Tunsil. OP not entirely wrong.

Tunsil is a name. His play is not worth his contract. We'd have another Taylor on our hands. Including the lining up in the backfirld and false start penalities, where he lead the lrague. Dude is also uncoachable. There's the reason why the Texans have been trying to unload this guy for two seasons now. More trouble than what he's worth.

htismaqe · 03-27-2025, 08:04 AM

Everybody expects them to trade up and take a tackle. It's still a month until the draft. This is all smoke and mirrors at this point. They won't do what everybody expects.

htismaqe · 03-27-2025, 08:06 AM

And for the record, I'm not against taking Conerly is he falls to 31. I'm not giving up extra picks to go get him. He's a solid tackle but I don't see the upside with him, he pretty much is what he is. In the end, I don't think he falls, nor does Simmons. We see guys at OT get overdrafted every year.

tyton75 · 03-27-2025, 08:11 AM

My guess: If Simmons should fall to us, they take him in the first... otherwise we take the D-tackle we want and look at a monster of an OT in the 3rd that could use some development

There are a couple of guys in the 3rd or later that are just beasts of human beings that could use a year of polish.

Trapilo and that dude Hollins something...
